The Squires Grief Crownd with Comfort:
OR,
Nectar preferrd before Scornfull Cynthia,
To the Tune of Let the Soldiers rejoyce. Licensed according to Order
|
ARe the Fates so unkind,
|
As to keep me confind,
|
Debarrd of all Free----dom and Pleasure?
|
For the young Charming Saint,
|
Neer regards my Complaint,
|
But denys me, denys me the Fountain of Pleasure.
|
Im catchd in the Snare,
|
Of a Beauty so fair,
|
Whom all the whole Wor----ld will admire;
|
At her Feet when I bow,
|
Not a Smile shell allow,
|
But she leaves me, she leaves me, to burn with de-sire.
|
When I tell her of Love,
|
That I prize none above
|
Fair Cynthia my A----morous Jewel;
|
She returns me her Frown,
|
Which dos quite run me down;
|
Oh! was ever, was ever a Creature so cruel!
|
When her Eyes I beheld,
|
With Raptures I swelld
|
To gain her I u----sd my endeavour;
|
But yet all was in vain,
|
I might sigh and complain.
|
She denyd me, denyd me the Blessing for ever.
|
Being clearly denyd;
|
I in sorrow replyd,
|
Whom Beauty a----lone hath invited,
|
Is rejected at last,
|
This my Glory doth blast,
|
Oh! was ever was, ever young Lover so slighted?
|
Thus with sorrow opprest,
|
And denyd of all rest,
|
I started when e----er I did slumber,
|
For my sorrows were more,
|
Then the sands on the shore,
|
For I tell you, I tell you, they were out of m[?]
|
But at length I took Heart,
|
And defended the Dart,
|
And with a good F----ace I can carry it,
|
And solemnly declare,
|
Theres no Cynthia so fair,
|
As a Bottle, a Bottle of delicate Claret.
|
This my Joys will restore,
|
Ill regard her no more,
|
Nor trouble my Nod----dle about her,
|
For my Heart is at ease,
|
I can love when I please,
|
Therefore tell her, now tell her I can love wi[?]
